Today was the 2010 Tokyo Marathon. Although the weather conditions were far from ideal (7c and rain/snow), this year's running was not all that bad. It was a big year for Japanese runners: 7 of the top ten men and 5 of the top women were from Japan. Here is a list of the top 10 men and women:

Personally, I had a better day than anticipated. Given the conditions, I was prepared for my pace goal to plummet. However, I did better than last year and finally broke 3:30 for a 3:28:57. Needless to say, I am satisfied with the result. I hope the other folks who use this site (Namban-ers, et al.) have a chance to post their experience. Congrats to all!

Next up, Ikegami Marathon!
